98% at an average annual rate of 1.1%. Thus, the projected annual rate of growth in the U.S. population is only about half the rate of growth experienced in the recent past.
Ambiguous because both the birth rate and replacement rate are based on percentages of per of 1000 increments of population
So in exaggeration to highlight ::
Yes a 10% birth rate in a population of 1,000 is ...... 100
But a 1% birth rate in a population of 100,000 is...... 1000
So the birth rate goes down but the pop goes up ,,,, or put another way, at 1/10 the rate, we get 10 times the people
And unfortunately it is that 98% increase which represents one significant fundamental flaw ,,,(the quick sand under the footer as it were) ,,,of the foundational structure or the notion of "lets make America all better again like the good old days"
